Finally finished building my scout 290 and got it out for a couple of rides! It is a ridiculous amount of fun. Out of the saddle and in turns it feels like a rocket compared to my full suspension....

I can double check if it was white logo or yellow logo, but I stocked up a bit on double down maxterra 2.4 dhrs from planet cycerly for a little under 40. Again, can’t remember if it is oem but they...

I am putting a set of code R brakes on my bike and after shortening the rear brake (they have been sitting with the levers off for a year) went to reinstall the hosing, olive barb lever etc.... and...

Took the valve out and could see a glint of something racing by but couldn't get it to come out. Untaped it and shook it around for a few minutes and this fell out of a spoke hole. Thanks for the...

I feel crazy. Was changing over my wifes tires to a new wheelset and it sounded like there was a pebble inside the tire clanging around on the rim. I took the tire off and there is the sound of a...

Since I live in Salt Lake I generally lump in the riding on the backside of Ogden (Huntsville and Eden) as "Ogden", which a real local might disagree with. That being said, it is really really good....

thanks!

A friend has an old (2014ish) race face affect dropper, looking at the lever it is set-up so the barrel of the cable is at the lever, there is not pinch bolt. The dropper is long past dead and she...

Ahh gotcha. Thanks

Thread hijack: Replacing the wheels on a bike with a lyrik and ordered a set of the torque cap end-caps since they were a cheap add-on. It comes with the standard ones as well. How come you despise...

I had the same model lyrik I belive (charger 2.1, debonair spring) and am now on a 2022 Fox 36 factory W/grip 2. I haven’t had any issues with either, I might have actually preferred the Lyrik a bit...

That’s a nice looking steed! I am leaning that way. Ordering some hunt wheels for my wife’s bike and taking her heavy ex511s for it. They give you a free set of tires, either ardents or...

Glad I am not the only one with that idea!! Probably going to throw a 140 pike or 150 lyrik on it depending on what pops up for a good deal, nice tip on the longer steerer tube!

Man this all has me super excited for my new ride. I was a little worried it was too slack since I wanted it to be a little more sporty than the ripmo but sounds like slacker was better. But dang...

This is all super helpful, I appreciate all the input (and the test ride offer BeaterIt, super kind). The Scout 290 frames came back into stock, and while it was pondering it they almost sold-out...

When I got my v2 ripmo (52 mm chainline) it had the 55 MM chainline crankset on it. Exactly what G-man said... No matter how well it was tuned it would drop off backpedaling in the two easiest gears....

Thank you everyone for all the replies. This is super helpful! I hadn’t thought about carbon because I just assumed it was a much more expensive route and didn’t know much about the no-name cheaper...

I am in the market for a hardtail frame to build up over the winter to compliment my ripmo. There is a lot of riding near me in SLC that is 4-6 miles from my house on the road so I am hoping to get...

We did Packard- mapleton/sawmill to kirkman alt; then hung a left on the left fork of days canyon last year.

I thought it was awesome, especially the left fork of days going from kirkman out to...

Just took the aircan off and it shipped with three spacers. For the people out there who work on these, putting it back together there was no hard stop screwing the aircan back on. I was careful to...

Riding weight: 195-200

155 PSI. HSC one click from closed, LSC 10 clicks from closed. Rebound 3 clicks from closed (Ibis Ripmo)

That leaves me with only 15-18 percent sag and it still feels...

I don't know specifically, but if you need any measurments off of mine (210x55) I can get them for you.

Thats a bummer! Thanks Dan for the tip on Milly-solbright.

Thanks! Appreciated the advice on the mounting hardware. Yah, I was surprised about that as well. Not to get too deep into the million things one can find online about it, but it did sound like that...

Put a Mara Pro on my V2 Ripmo (thanks to some help on the experts thread in getting it situated for install). Someone had asked for thoughts on it once I had ridden it a few times. It replaced an X2...

Solitude is showing Raptor Road is closed still. Last time I was up there it was late evening so we rode it up to the base of Summit and to the top in the usual fashion. Is there another good/legit...

Andeh was kind enough to send me an Ergon Enduro Pro Ti small/medium saddle. It is in immaculate shape. It is so dang nice I really wanted to make it work but I need something wider. I saw a few...

That storm was insane! Riding in it sounds super rowdy. We had lucky timing and got down from Silver, had a beer, and as we passed beartrap headed downcanyon it opened up. Love hearing the optimism...

All of the mine tailings and typical steep loose surfing in Silver Fork is absolutely incredible right now. Packed and grippy, no mud! Highly recommend.

Anybody else worried that Solitude is going...

It is such an unexpected surprise for sure when you think you blew it and the solution is actually no big deal. Appreciate it!

Well that saved me from a real spiral. Thanks!!

QUOTE=Andeh;6903765]Let the air out and you'll be able to rotate the rear part of the shock.[/QUOTE]

I feel like an idiot. I ordered a new shock, the mounting hardware is in, but both eyelets are oriented for the bolts to come in right to left. The rear attachment to the clevis on my ripmo is...

Will definitely update once its on.

Thanks! Just pulled the trigger and ordered it, seems like folks have a lot of good things to say about it.

Fox x2 has seems to have lost a lot of mid stroke support and is leaking a small amount of oil after a hard hit on a V2 ripmo. Just rebuilt at the beginning of the season, seems like it’s not worth...

Yah it is this exactly. Brakes feel great at the beginning of the ride (which I feel like is the opposite of a bad bleed), then partway down a long dusty downhill the lever throw gets longer and they...

New PC trail Change reaction is worth a pedal! Lots of diverging lines on it, some fun sized jumps and some bigger gaps thrown in. At the end as it seems like it is getting way easier don't stop...

Thanks! I just did a full bleed a little bit ago, perhaps it could have been better but overall they are doing great except on super long long hot descents. I think I am still getting used to having...

Dominion A4 (or any brake with a syringe style bleed system question): Brakes feel pretty good, but starting to get a hair soft on long super steep descents as the pads are wearing. Can I put the...

It’s a nice way to get a head start on the upper mountain, but you are just riding the same xc trails and a few short directional downhills that you would pedal (which are all really fun, but just a...

Not sure where you are selling, and not to be negative, but that might be tough. In Salt lake, we recently sold two bikes (both with decent pedals).

Hells yes! PM sent.

Thanks all!

Thanks! In Salt Lake City, but appreciate the offer. Bummer they require their own tool.

Sounds good. If you start burning through them just let me know!

Saddle and pads from Andeh came today, stoked.

Oh yah, forgot to put that in there! It's 3 mm boost. Came off a GX eagle Dub boost crankset.

Unused take-off chainring: Sram eagle X-sync 2 32 tooth

Beartrap and the crest are both in amazing shape. I have never seen the entrance so relatively grippy, and the flowers are 5 stars. TBatts white bus to purple bus move from the canyons is perfect.
